Code consultation 2024

The Code of Fundraising Practice underpins the system of voluntary self-regulation which fundraisers commit to and provides a framework for assessing public complaints. We are inviting comments on the new code, which has been fully redrafted following feedback from the 2023 consultation. We want to ensure the redrafted code is clear, effective and relevant.

The consultation is open until 1 November 2024. Find out more about the code review.
